View File/OS integration

Hi. I want to first thank you for Zotero. I have started using this extensively and am a big fan.

One issue I am currently having is that I don't use a plug-in in Firefox to view PDF files. If I click on a "View File" for a PDF file that is attached of a reference, this doesn't trigger the PDF application my computer (Windows XP) has selected, but just "downloads" a copy of the PDF file from the Zotero directory to my desktop. Is there any way to get Zotero to use the system default to handle a document? My specific example is PDF, but I would think that this would also be an issue for other file types that don't open in a browser plugin.
